Nah, not at all, and the whole country is behind the team. They have grown as a team greatly since the "War Pig" has taken over.

Doesn't seem like there is much hate here: LINK

I've been following Belgium since WCQs started since I am (partially) of Belgian descent and they have performed great. Don't be surprised when they go far in Brazil.

Could see them pull an Uruguay and make the semi's when not many people are thinking of them. The run will probably stop there though

Komps has really helped the cultural identity thing. I believe he speaks all three major languages. It definitely has hurt them before, and it still is a huge, huge issues. However, I think this is probably the most unified team/system that it has ever been.
